Psalm 18:3

KJV—I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy
to be praised: so shall I be saved from
mine enemies.

AMP—I will call upon the Lord, Who is to be
praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.

Moffatt—The Eternal is to be praised!—I call
to him, and I am rescued from my foes.

NIV—I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.

Psalm 18:4-19

KJV—The sorrows of death compassed me,
and the floods of ungodly men made me
afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me
about: the snares of death prevented me. In
my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried
unto my God: he heard my voice out of his
temple, and my cry came before him, even into
his ears. Then the earth shook and trembled;
the foundations also of the hills moved and
were shaken, because he was wroth. There
went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire
out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled
by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came
down: and darkness was under his feet. And
he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he
did fly upon the wings of the wind. He made
darkness his secret place; his pavilion round
about him were dark waters and thick clouds
of the skies. At the brightness that was before
him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and
coals of fire. The Lord also thundered in the
heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail
stones and coals of fire. Yea, he sent out his
arrows, and scattered them; and he shot
out lightnings, and discomfited them. Then
the channels of waters were seen, and the
foundations of the world were discovered at
thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath
of thy nostrils. He sent from above, he took
me, he drew me out of many waters. He
delivered me from my strong enemy, and
from them which hated me: for they were too
strong for me. They prevented me in the day
of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay. He
brought me forth also into a large place; he
delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Psalm 31:1-2

KJV—O Lord…Bow down thine ear to me;
deliver me speedily.

AMP—O Lord…Bow down Your ear to me,
deliver me speedily!

Moffatt—O thou Eternal…Turn thine ear to
me, delay not to deliver me.

NIV—O Lord…Turn your ear to me, come
quickly to my rescue.
